How to  Access a Windows shared folder from Linux using the command line

1. If you don't have it already, you will need to install smbclient, which can be done with the following commands:
           For Ubuntu\Debian: sudo apt-get install smbclient
           For CentOS: sudo yum install samba-client
                                  sudo yum install samba-common-tools
    
2. If you are using a machine that is on a domain, you will need to change the configuration and add your domain by editing smb.conf:
          sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
   And change:
          -security = domain
          -workgroup = WORKGROUP
    
3.  With smbclient installed, you can connect to your Windows share using the command:
          sudo smbclient /PathOfTheSharedFolder -U domain/YourUser
    
4. Enter your user password
    
5. Once authenticated, you are placed at an smb: \> prompt.
    
6. Here, you can use the ls or dir command to list files.
    
7. Use the command get filename.ext to transfer a file named filename.ext from your Windows share to your Linux machine.

NOTE: If the file name contains spaces, make sure to enclose it in double quotes.
For example: get "My new file.txt".
